Running at 80% adult ICU capacity in the Black Hills region. Normal levels in many hospitals for flu season.
That's me in Deadwood after a night of [completely sober because I'm pregnant] partying on #NYE.
The packed trolley would have made any Karen faint, even though most people abided by the request to wear masks on board.
